Casting spells

Not far in front of her, the mysterious man who had previously taken orders from Ancia knelt on one knee and reported in a slightly sad voice: "The great Camila de Silva Velazquez, with great regret To inform you that your granddaughter is dead, murdered on the streets of New York."

"Who killed her?" The old man with a long list of names did not show the slightest bit of sadness, but raised his head slightly, showing an expression of interest.

"It's an oriental who is very famous in the underground world recently. In addition, Ancia seems to believe that he is the No.14 Child of Destiny who was repeatedly mentioned in the prophecy." The man gave the answer without thinking.

There is no doubt that his current attitude is both humble and submissive, and it is simply two extremes from the rebelliousness he faced with Ansia before.

"Oh? Did the No. 14 Destiny's Child appear? Could it be that Ancia couldn't wait to seize the power of destiny from the other party, but was killed instead?" Camilla's eyes flashed a line that didn't match her age. His face was full, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile that was not a smile.

The man nodded seriously: "You guessed it right! Ansia used the power of taboos to try to seize part of the power of fate through a forced contract, but the oriental man was more vigilant than expected and successfully resisted the temptation. And I think he seems to have obtained a lot of secrets about this place from Ancia's memory through some kind of mysterious magic, you'd better be careful."

"Be careful? Why should I be careful? No, you don't understand at all. If I hadn't been too old to leave, I would have gone to New York to meet him. Ancia is too self-righteous, and she doesn't understand what she is about to face Who. But I am different. I have been preparing for this day for 100 years. Now, you give this book to No. 14 Child of Destiny for me, and tell him that he must come to see me within three months. "

After all, the old woman stretched out her arms tremblingly, and pressed down on the base of the statue in front of her.

Accompanied by a burst of clicking sounds from the operation of the mechanism, the thick parchment books hidden behind the wall were revealed.

"The Book of Prophecy?! Are you sure you want to give such an important thing to an outsider?" The man's eyes widened in surprise.

"I don't want to explain too much, you just do what I tell you. Besides, as long as you do this well, I promise to release your restraint before you die, and let you regain your freedom."

"From...freedom..."

Although Camilla didn't have the slightest fluctuation in tone when she said these words, the man's body was trembling slightly, and some parts couldn't even maintain a fixed shape, forming a large thick black smoke, which shows the inner strength. How excited.

After a full minute, he picked up the thick parchment book, bent down and bowed deeply, and then disappeared into a cloud of black smoke without a trace.

Looking at the torch hanging on the basement wall of the castle wall, the old woman rubbed her chin and murmured in a voice only she could hear: "Be patient! Be patient! Camilla! If he is really the one mentioned repeatedly in the prophecy , any rash move would be foolish. I must wait for him to come to me, not me to him."

……

At the same time, in New York on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, Zhang Cheng was hiding in front of the desk alone, dealing with some trivial business matters.

In particular, the cultivation base covering a huge area has been completed, and many magical plants have been transplanted in. His ambitious mother kept urging him to increase production in the shortest possible time.

Of course, this is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that the father in name has been in New York for so long, but he never showed up. Gifts, such as beautiful coral decorations, one or two wild pearls salvaged from the bottom of the sea, and so on.

I have to say that as an expert and scholar engaged in public welfare and marine life protection, this kind of behavior is really confusing.

"It's such a weird and strange family relationship..." Zhang Cheng complained, throwing the gadgets in his hand aside, and turned on the computer to connect to the 24-hour surveillance camera of the cultivation base.

As he expected, with the start-up of the entire enlarged version of the Arcane Garden, the intensity of the magical energy in the factory has far exceeded that of the outside world, and the growth rate is even faster than direct irrigation with the well water of the Sunwell.

It is estimated that within a week, the first batch of low-level herbs can enter the harvesting stage.

Although the efficacy of the medicine may not be as good as those wild ones, it is not much worse, at least ordinary people can't feel it.

Just when he was hesitating whether to go there in person tomorrow, a puff of thick black smoke suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the study, slowly forming the appearance of a young man, holding a heavy book in his arms and touching his chest with one hand slightly. He bowed: "Hello, powerful Child of Destiny. I am entrusting you with this book by order of Camila de Silva Velazquez and with a message. You must Go to the old castle on the outskirts of Valencia to meet her."

"Camila de Silva Velazquez?" Zhang Cheng frowned subconsciously.

Because he had never heard of this name in his mind, and he didn't understand why the other party gave him a book inexplicably.

"Yes! She has a granddaughter named Ancia, who just died at your hands today. But don't worry, Camilla doesn't mean to be an enemy of you, and she doesn't care about her granddaughter's life or death. She only cares about one thing The thing is to talk to you face to face. One last reminder, she is about to die, so if you don't want to miss any important information, you must leave as soon as possible."

As the last word fell, the man gently placed the book in his arms on the table, and he turned into a black room and slipped out through the crack of the door.

Zhang Cheng didn't intend to prevent the other party from leaving, but just casually opened the first page of the ancient book, and was instantly attracted by the content described inside...

Chapter 6: Re-understanding Time

all night long!

Zhang Cheng read this ancient parchment book with countless secrets at least ten times from beginning to end, until he couldn't find anything worthy of deliberation. Then he stopped and rubbed his brows, and took it out of his magic pocket for a long time. The magic sword that has not been used before - the Soul Keeper, asked bluntly: "Tell me, did your creator, Volent, leave any descendants in this world?"

"Descendants? Don't tell me..." Demon Sword revealed a trace of surprise in his tone.

"That's right! A guy who called himself Camila de Silva Velasquez sent me a book, a book full of prophecies about Destiny's Child, which mentioned No. The 14 Children of Destiny, that is, me. Can you explain what is going on? What does the so-called power of destiny refer to?" Zhang Cheng tapped the blurry small words on the last line of the page, his eyes full of question.

Because among the many fragments of prophecy in this book, some of them happen to be the parts I have experienced.

This also means that as early as hundreds or even thousands of years ago, someone had foreseen his arrival and some of his actions.

It has to be said that this made him, who has never been interested in prophecy magic, aroused strong vigilance and confusion.

"Have you finally reached this point? It's really beyond my expectations. Yes, my creator, Volente, awakened to spy on the future, so he met his own death and chose to leave his own. Bloodline, wait for the time to revive. Of course, this is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do, especially as time goes by, his bloodline is getting thinner and thinner among the descendants." Demon Sword used quite emotional the voice explained.

"Resurrection? How to resurrect? In addition, I don't quite understand. What is the so-called ability to spy on the future? Is it prophecy magic?" Zhang Cheng raised several questions in one breath.

No way, he was really curious about this "senior" who had opened the first seal.

"The method of resurrection is very simple! Use the blood of the descendants to reactivate the corpses buried in the deep sea ruins. As for the soul, it will be captured, reshaped, and awakened by the power of fate. The so-called power of fate is simply interference And the powerful force to change the future. I believe you must know a lot of explanations about time, right? In fact, most of them are wrong, and time is not as you imagined, a straight line that cannot be changed.”

Speaking of this, the soul arrester deliberately paused for a while, and sneered: "Ha ha! On the contrary, it has never been a line, but is closer to a dense towering tree. As long as there is a possibility of change, it will It will continue to fork, fork, and then fork, forming one parallel world after another. Generally speaking, from the initial stage, each parallel world will develop according to a certain route until the end of time. But some people, It is possible to forcibly change the direction of time at certain points..."

"You mean, I'm the one who can change the direction of time?" A strange expression appeared on Zhang Cheng's face.

Just like the point of view stated in the famous time paradox, if people at the current time point suddenly learn from the prophecy that the bad situation that will happen in the future, and take a series of measures to change the established result, will the timeline be changed accordingly? And change?Can a changed prophecy be called a prophecy?Or will the prophecy change with it?

Due to the coherent particularity of time, it cannot be logically explained at all.

Simply put, according to the understanding of most intelligent life in the known world, time is a passage planned by countless coincidences and chances.It always runs through the three-dimensional space, thus forming a continuous and uninterrupted historical evolution, which is the timeline often mentioned in science fiction or fantasy stories.

Strictly speaking, if a guy from the future goes back to the past and changes any fragile accidental event on this line without authorization, then the entire timeline will undergo drastic changes and develop in another direction.

But the paradox is, if this guy changes the past, will the known future in his mind also change? Will he still have the motivation and desire to travel back to the past and change history after the memory changes?

Let's say, by some coincidence, the guy's parents didn't combine as they did before, so he wasn't born at all, so what happens, will the changes persist?

Of course, according to the brand-new way of understanding mentioned by Magic Sword just now, the relationship between time and space is not as unchangeable and full of contradictions as people imagine.

If time is not a straight line running through space, but a three-dimensional network that simultaneously connects parallel universes made of possibilities one after another, then the so-called time paradox can be explained.

The past changed by people from the future is just another parallel universe connected at the current point in time. From the moment of change, time moves forward in another direction, while the original established facts have not changed, but in Another parallel universe exists at the same time.

In this way, no matter how time is destroyed, it will only lead to another parallel world that already exists, instead of changing the past and future where it is.

"Hahahaha! No! In fact, every intruder who has been given a sacred mission has a very powerful power of destiny, but the problem is that most people can't use it well, but let it go to waste. Even you are no exception. But my creator, Volente, is different, he foresaw everything, including your arrival. Do you know what this means?" The soul arrester asked with a laugh.

Zhang Cheng rubbed his chin and hesitated for a moment, then quickly replied: "This means that he knows all kinds of possibilities in the future! He knows what I will do next, whether it will be success or failure."

"That's right! This is the greatness of the power of destiny! So I sincerely suggest you to meet the offspring of Volente, if possible, it is best to revive him, he will become your most powerful helper. If you two join forces , there will never be anyone or god in this world who can stop it." Demon Sword bewitched excitedly.

"Sounds like fun! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it some serious consideration."

After saying this, Zhang Cheng didn't pay any attention to the meaning of the spirit restrainer's desire to communicate further, directly stuffed it into the magic pocket, and sat silently on the chair to digest the information he had just received.

Undoubtedly, just like the creative power obtained after the awakening of the seeds in his body, Volente has obtained a magical power called the power of destiny, and his proficiency in using it is obviously much higher than himself.
